To be honest I always feel really awkward starting any of my posts. I never know what to say… So lets just get right to the point. Maybe I should look at other blogs and see how they do it. Good idea, I’ll do that. Now for the book summary.

Desperate to protect her father from trial and death, Genevieve breaks off her engagement with Christian Amesbury and marries a blackmailer. After a year of marriage, she flees her husband's violent domination only to have fate bring her back to Christian. Just when she thinks she's started a new life of safety and solitude, her husband tracks her down, stalks her, and threatens everyone she loves.

Still brokenhearted over Genevieve's betrayal a year ago, Christian can't believe she's come back into his life--and worse, that she's done it on the anniversary of his brother's death, a death that haunts him. Though tempted to throw her back into the river where he found her, he can't leave her at the mercy of the terrifying man she married.

When her husband torments Genevieve and puts his family in danger, Christian will do anything to protect those he loves...anything except give Genevieve another chance to break his heart.

Perfectly Perfect Christian. I wasn’t expecting his book to be before Grant, but you know, not everyone gets married in chronological order. I felt really sorry for Genevieve right from the beginning. I mean when you start off a book with a suicide attempt it tend to grab your attention. Especially when it’s set in a time where that was a serious sin and your family would be disgraced because of it. And on top of it she had to be shackled to a meanie who needs to be given all the cold-shoulder-hair-flip-shuns. And probably a punch in the gut and a knee where it counts. It’s almost worse that he was so in love with her, but she was taken from him.

I loved that he was the one to find her though, they both needed that. I also loved the whole time they were stuck together in that cottage. The horse racing and everything. Those scenes are ones that will stick with me. And the ending? Gold stars. All the Gold Stars.

Alright I am giving this one 4 quills. It wasn’t as good as either of the first two, but it still had a strong story, strong characters and strong writing. I had fun reading it and I can’t wait to read the fourth one now.

As you probably guessed its now onto The Suspects Daughter by Donna Hatch.
